Item Unlocking Conversations: Using Picture Books as Tools for Tackling Tough Topics(2025-02-20) McMurray, KhrismaPicture books are powerful tools that give children and adults an accessible way to approach challenging topics such as race, identity, and other societal issues. This presentation will explore how picture books can jumpstart difficult conversations as an entry point for discussions that foster empathy, understanding, and social-emotional growth. This talk will highlight how parents, educators, and librarians can use picture books to facilitate meaningful dialogue around real-world issues. In the current climate of book banning, it is more vital than ever to recognize how culturally relevant picture books can support the social-emotional development of young readers.Item OER Student Advocacy Cards(2025-03-04) McMurray, KhrismaThe OER Student Advocacy Card is designed to equip students to advocate for Open Educational Resources (OER) in their classrooms. It provides a clear, student-centered message about the financial burden of textbooks and how OER can enhance student success by reducing costs and improving access to learning materials. Students can use this card to start conversations with their professors about adopting free or low-cost alternatives with support from University Library.Item Students for OER: The Fight for Afforable Learning(2025-03-05) McMurray, Khrisma"Students for OER: The Fight for Affordable Learning" is a visual advocacy piece highlighting the student perspective on Open Educational Resources (OER).

SaraItem Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries – Introducing the ONEAL Project(2024-08-14) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, CourtneyCAUL welcomes the team from the ONEAL Project who will speak about the valuable work the organisation provides in developing curricula and open educational resources to support negotiation education for academic libraries and Master of Library Science (MLS/MLIS) programs. These resources introduce negotiation theory and practical strategy using academic library context of negotiating vendor agreements. The open curriculum will include introductions to critical issues in academic libraries as they intersect with contract negotiations such as user privacy, platform governance, emerging publishing models, author rights, and computational collections research. Speaking on behalf of the ONEAL Project will be Katharine V. Macy (Project Director/Principal Investigator), Scarlet Galvan (Co-Principal Investigator. Collection Strategist Librarian, Grand Valley State University Libraries) and Courtney Fuson (Co-Principal Investigator. Asset Management Librarian and Subject Liaison to Education at Belmont University). This session will be highly useful for library staff experienced with licence negotiations as well as those with less experience, and those likely to be involved in negotiations in future.Item Improving Library Advantage During Negotiations with ONEAL’s Gambit(2024-10-24) Macy, Katharine V.; Galvan, Scarlet; Fuson, CourtneyDo you have to negotiate business terms and/or contracts for library resources? Do you want to learn more about how librarians can increase their bargaining power? Please join Katharine Macy, Scarlet Galvan, and Courtney Fuson of the IMLS-funded ONEAL Project (Open Negotiation for Academic Libraries, https://oneal-project.org) and explore a new open educational resource available to library workers who wish to develop these skills. Negotiating is often a skill set that is largely learned while on the job or through continuing education opportunities that may be costly and not library-focused. In addition, many library workers feel anxiety about the negotiation process. In this session, explore how negotiation skills: • create more productive conversations that create more options. • foster a sustainable relationship with resource vendors. • empower library workers through an open online curriculum to teach these skills. The session will introduce the Foundations learning module launched in April and the brand-new Strategies module launched in Fall 2024, which dives deeper into strategies (setting priorities, vendor and internal stakeholder management, and contracts and licensing strategy).Item Book Review: The Early Reception of Manga in the West(IOPN, 2024) Tomberlin, CetoriaBook review of art history and manga scholar Martin de la Iglesia's The Early Reception of Manga in the West, published in 2023 by Christian A.
